No we don't. The LADSPA plugins are separate programs and not a part of LMMS. They can, and are, licensed under their own licenses and their licensing does not affect the license of LMMS. LMMS is licensed under GPLv2, and all code, including native plugins, in LMMS itself is GPLv2. Since there isn't any kind of copyright assignment for LMMS contributors, this means that the LMMS situation is very similar to that of the Linux kernel: the license can only be changed by acquiring the explicit consent of everyone who's ever contributed code to LMMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
